Saint Germain Bakery

This is an upscale bakery founded by Thomas Fung. There are a few locations in Metro Vancouver as well as in Greater Toronto Area. During the pandemic the business offers disposable gloves and hand sanitizer to its customers. There are plenty of parking at Aberdeen Centre but during weekend or Chinese New Year is a different story on parking. Overall, the cakes, pastries, and baked goods quality are very good but comes at a price. In my opinion, the prices are tend to be higher. As for baked goods size wise it’s about average except for their black cherry cheesecake which is a lot smaller. I wish the size is a bit larger for the same price.

Called to order an 8” cake, was told it was $63. I asked if the prices were not the same as online (more than $20 difference), was told to order online and was hung up on. Went online since it was my daughter’s favourite, but when I got there, they were so rude and uncultured. The cake ended up being so dry, it was crumbly, the cream was sour and the “fresh” fruit on top was mouldy. Have been going there several times a year for over 15 years, but will never go back. Complete waste of time and money.

The really nice cashier woman helped me get the right Chinese cookies to my wife, thanks!

Excellent customer service and great tasting cakes. Not too sweet like most of the western pastries shops. I was unable to use the coupon code online and when I told them about it when I picked up the cake they fixed it for me right away.

Great for cream buns, cakes, etc. Must try.
